Hello,

Looking for some opinions from families who do a lot of travelling have done long haul trips with a youngster.

Currently pregnant and thinking of booking a vacation in the spring when baby will be 3 months old.

We want to go to either the USA to New Orleans/ NYC/ Boston ( multi-city trip + visiting family or Japan.

We travel a lot, could go business class for all flights, I won’t be breastfeeding.

Wondering if anyone else has taken a trip like this ?

AIBU to be thinking of a trip like this ?

Go for it. Babies are made a fuss of when travelling.. I'd do Japan and enjoy nice hotels. I travelled solo UK to aus with a 8 week old. If you feel you can do it you probably can!

(Ready made baby milk can be ordered in advance at most airports - Boots, etc., you just pick it up after security).

It would be ten times easier if you were breastfeeding

Why?

It would be ten times easier if you were breastfeeding.

I think I would wait until baby is here and then revisit travel plans.

Is this your first child? I would absolutely not be committing to this trip yet. Despite not having travelled internationally with my twins until they were 6yrs old, I am not doom and gloom about travelling with young children/babies – it's an individual preference and some families find it works great for them. But I think it's very ill-advised to factor in now when you have not even had the baby.
